fine Women ROW the Canoes.

The Rev. Thomas Bridges, mission
airy in Terra del Fuego, in the island of
Onisin, among the ona and the Yagbons,
mentions a curious circumstance with
reference TO the people, illustrating the
influence Of environment on the acquire
ment Of habits. Between men and women
there is fair division Of labor. Among
other things, the men make and TT up the
canoes, but the women are the rowers.
The result is that the women are good
swimmers, but the men cannot swim at
all. The reason is that often on the
coast there is not single tree 10 which
10 fasten the canoes. The women, there
fore, after landing their husbands, have
10 row the canoes 10 spot where SEA
weed has been massed together. in order
10 moor the canoes thereon; after which
operation they are compelled 10 swim
back. So, also, when the canoe is wanted,
the women haze 90 swim out for it and
row back for their husbands.
